Welcome to Nightmare Game III

In the meeting room, no one said that name, but everyone knew it well.

Qi Leren felt that the illusionist was carefully watching his expression, and so did Si Lin, but no one continued this topic.

The tacit understanding in the past three years has allowed them to talk about everything at work, but there are many things that they kept silent and seldom mentioned.

This is probably due to the difference in personality between men and women. Qi Le people have heard female subordinates talk about their relationship problems many times. Whether it is a good relationship or a bad relationship, they can always get the care and understanding of the observers.But he never heard his male subordinates mention it when they were sober, as if it was a shame to discuss their own weaknesses.Rather than telling their iron buddies how much they miss her who has left, they would rather hug and cry with a drunk stranger in a tavern.

Not mentioning it doesn't mean I didn't think about it, but I carefully hid it in my heart.

"Then let's put this proposal on hold for now." Si Lin said, "It's about increasing the import of minerals. Please say hello to the Dragon Ant Queen first."

Qi Leren added this item in his notebook, and asked again: "When the formal negotiation takes place, who will you send to the underground Ant City to negotiate?"

It is already a common practice that the trade negotiations between Twilight Township and Demon Realm are conducted in the underground ant city.The work of foreign trade negotiations is nominally within the functions of the Ministry of Commerce, but if it involves trade in the devil world, it is customary to be presided over by Qi Leren's secretary Anna, and there is no need to ask Si Lin for his opinion.

But just a few days ago, Anna was unfortunately killed in a case of a fanatic, and the people of Qi Le had to ask one more question.

Si Lin asked casually, "Didn't you have a new secretary?"

Qi Leren laughed: "You mean Xiaoxiao? She just arrived, so many things are unclear. Besides, I have other arrangements for her."

The illusionist interjected: "Her ability is very interesting. If used well, it can help us solve a problem that has been hidden for a long time."

Qi Leren: "She still lacks experience, and she doesn't have enough awareness of her own abilities. I plan to let her get used to the job first, and then find an opportunity to arrange this matter for her. In short, be careful and avoid making mistakes. "

The illusionist looked at him with interest: "It seems that you have experienced it too?"

Qi Leren: "To each other. You borrowed Xiaoxiao yesterday, so you probably took him to Si Lin's office?"

Si Lin looked a little helpless: "Under the unprepared situation, the mind reading technique can indeed have unexpected gains."

The illusionist looked at him with dangerous eyes, but he didn't forget why they fought last night.

Si Lin added: "But it is also easy to get wrong results because of misleading."

The illusionist snorted, didn't bother with the topic, and turned to Qi Leren, "Do you think she's okay? Why do I think she's not very smart?"

Qi Leren complained to him quietly: "Why do you have the face to say that people are not smart? Last time I did the IQ test, who was at the bottom?"

The illusionist's fist was hardened again, and the smile on his face became brighter: "Say it again?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was developing towards the dangerous direction of "hand-to-hand combat on the spot to show friendship", the Qi Le people immediately changed the subject: "But I have to find a suitable time to talk to her first. It is not a good thing to overindulge yourself and abuse your abilities. We all know that firsthand.”

After switching back to the working mode, the three of them continued to discuss the next few items that needed to be negotiated.

Three hours passed quickly, and it was almost lunch time.

Qi Leren drank all the black coffee in the cup and asked the illusionist to make another cup for him.

The illusionist said angrily, "I'm not your secretary!"

Qi Leren tugged on his dark green imperial-style long skirt, pretending to have a pensive expression: "The fabric of this skirt looks familiar, oops, I must have seen it somewhere, let me think about it carefully."

The illusionist who knew he was wrong gave him a sideways glance, pulled off his skirt, got up and went to make coffee for him.Si Lin passed his own cup in a logical manner: "Pour some water for me, too."

Qi Leren's eyelids jumped again.

Every time Si Lin tries to use the illusionist, it is easy to cause dangerous results, but Si Lin always enjoys it.

Sure enough, the illusionist poured a cup of scalding hot water, and poured it from the top of Si Lin's head with a smirk. The poured boiling water was frozen into ice cubes in mid-air, and he used the original power casually to prevent his scalp from being scalded. Si Lin glared at him angrily: "I just asked you to pour some water. You insist on doing something to my hair. Is it because you are jealous of my hair?"

The illusionist grinned and said, "Isn't that how pig hair is scalded after killing pigs?"

Qi Leren smiled and said, "That's why you are wrong. A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, but Si Lin is still alive and kicking."

The illusionist suddenly realized: "Oh, yes, the pig is not dead yet."

Now, the person with hardened fists was replaced by Si Lin.

Before he could have an attack, the illusionist poured another glass of ice water, put it on a tray and handed it to Si Lin: "Here, your water."

Si Lin stretched out his hand to take it, but his fingers passed through the handle inlaid with gold-edged patterns on the cup. He immediately realized that this was the trick of the illusionist.

And the real cup has already fallen from under the tray lightly under the cover of the illusion.

"Senior brother, please have some tea." Following the illusionist's malicious laughter, the cup fell between Si Lin's laps.

There is water in it.

Si Lin: "..."

Qi Leren gave him a sympathetic look: "Fortunately, this glass is ice water, otherwise it would be scalding... cough cough."

"Illusionist!!!"

"hahahahahahahahaha!"

Walking out of the huddled meeting room with his notebook, Qi Leren shook his head, the childishness of this pair of seniors in private was beyond his imagination.Compared with the two of them, he is really calm and reliable, no wonder he is much more popular than the two of them in the courtroom.

However, the people from Qi Le still kindly reminded the two naive ghosts: "The conference is going to be held in one hour, you two control the time. Also, remember to change your clothes before you come out. One trousers are wet and the other skirt is torn. It’s not good for people to see.”

After finishing speaking, he sympathetically closed the door for the pair of seniors who would fight passionately when they disagreed.

When he looked up, he saw Xiao Xiao who came to bring him lunch with his hands in his hands. There were big doubts in his small eyes.She was a little shocked, a little scared, and a little curious about what happened behind the door.

She obviously thought of something unhealthy.

Qi Leren hesitated for two seconds, making a choice between helping to explain and pretending nothing happened.

The main impetus for making the choice came from Si Lin who arranged eighteen urgent tasks for him in a row at today's meeting.

"But worry, they often do this." Qi Leren said softly, "I'm going back to the office to eat, just give me the plate, and you should hurry to the cafeteria."

………………

Xiaoxiao accidentally got her first official job at work—following Mr. Qi to attend the annual work meeting of the court in the afternoon.

The annual work meeting is attended by the first and second heads of more than a dozen departments of the court, summarizing the work of the whole year last year and adjusting the plan for the new year.

Xiaoxiao got the annual work summary report from Mr. Qi, and she crouched nervously. A series of numbers and nouns made her dizzy.

Mr. Qi comforted her: "Actually, it doesn't matter. It's customary for the secretary to participate. You sit in the back and record the speeches of the heads of various departments. It doesn't matter if you miss it. Si Lin's secretary will share the complete meeting minutes."

Xiaoxiao thought about the role of her participation in the meeting. Maybe, she was just a mere decoration tool?

Oh, now she has a chance to read the hearts of the bigwigs on the scene, and her curiosity jumped out like a frog thawed after hibernation, jumping back and forth in every tidal flat where she can settle.

The tool man Xiaoxiao was still thinking wildly, and Mr. Qi suddenly said: "By the way, please send these documents back to the Intelligence Department for me. Give them to their deputy director, Miao Li. Especially this case of disappearance makes Miao Li re-investigated."

Xiao Xiao responded, and left with a stack of thick documents in her arms.

Hermione is a young girl wearing black-rimmed glasses—the black-rimmed glasses are the same style as Xiao Xiao’s used glasses, but there is nothing bookish about her wearing glasses. The uniform looks very elite and capable, with a domineering aura. It looks like a devil boss who will mercilessly throw work to his subordinates who are about to work overtime and die suddenly.

After listening to what Mr. Qi told Xiao Xiao to take, Miao Li sighed softly: "This disappearance case. That's right, the person concerned disappeared, but his tombstone didn't appear on Undead Island, so he must not be dead. The entry-exit management office of the township has no record of his departure, that is to say, he is still in the township of dusk, but he doesn't know where he went."

Xiao Xiao recalled the dossier: "The reporter said that he has a tendency to be a fanatic, maybe he was bewitched?"

Miao Li sighed again: "It's very possible. But Twilight Township is too big, and this group of cockroaches hiding in the sewer can't be cleaned up. No one knows how he was bewitched, maybe it was during a mission Maybe you know the fanatics who are preaching, maybe you just accidentally broke into some cult secret meeting, or maybe you were just bewitched by the power and gave up the bottom line of being a human being and completely degenerated, there are too many possibilities."

Xiao Xiao pondered for a while, and asked in embarrassment: "Then what should I do?"

Miao Li looked at Xiao Xiao and showed a friendly smile—but Xiao Xiao couldn't help shivering.

"I've seen your file, you can read minds, right?" Miao Li asked.

"Yes...it's like this." Xiao Xiao had a bad premonition.

"I want to trouble you to do me a favor." Miao Li smiled politely and made a request.

Ten minutes later, Xiaoxiao, who had received an extra job, walked out of the intelligence department with dull eyes.

She was wrong, Miao Li is not only a devil boss who will mercilessly throw jobs to her subordinates who are about to die suddenly from overtime, she will also mercilessly throw jobs to newcomers in other departments!

She even asked her to talk to the reporter again to see if she could get some other clues with mind reading.

All right, she is indeed very curious about this case, so take the time to go to the address of the informant and ask about it.

On the way out of the Intelligence Division, a blindfolded long-haired woman walked up to her. She was not wearing the uniform of the court, but a dark priest's robe, holding a stack of Tarot cards in her hand, walking steadily from the front come.

Her features belonged to the natives of the nightmare world, and her brilliant long blond hair shone brightly in the daylight. She walked in the corridors of the hall of the trial hall, as if she was walking in a temple dedicated to her.

The blindfolded woman immediately recognized who she was in her small brain: the head fortune teller of the Intelligence Department, and Miao Li's boss.She is a mysterious and elegant beautiful woman, proficient in divination and astrology, also very accomplished in alchemy and magic circle design, and has deep qualifications in the court.

The moment they passed by, Xiaoxiao activated [Troublesome Mind-Reading Girl].

An unexpected picture appeared in front of my eyes, it should be a huge factory, surrounded by dense metal pipes, each of which requires several people to embrace.A huge boiler with a width of [-] meters was suspended in mid-air by a magic circle, and the pipes on the outer wall could continuously inject demon crystals melted into liquid by high temperature and pressure.

This is the crystal refinery, Xiao Xiao came back to his senses, but was at a loss.

The fortune-teller was thinking of a crystal refinery, which should be within the purview of the Ministry of Industry. If the Creator was thinking of a crystal refinery, Xiao Ke would not be surprised at all.

Maybe he just saw some information related to the crystal refinery, thinking carefully, he walked towards the Inquisition of Heresy without looking back.

But the fortune teller stopped in her tracks. The moment she passed by, a card slipped out of the deck in her hand and landed lightly on the ground.

She lowered her head, and her spirit vision penetrated the blindfold, allowing her to see the card that fell on the ground.

It's an inverse demon.

The author has something to say:

PS: The Tarot cards here do not use the current popular interpretation, it is purely for the needs of the plot.

PPS: What, did the last part of Fortune Teller not die?No, so I want to add a bento in the extra chapter.

For readers who have forgotten the plot, the blindfolded fortune-teller is an awakened NPC in the dungeon, the kind of NPC who knows that the world she lives in is just a fabricated small world. She met Su He in Su Yu's time, He brought her to the Prophet, and the Prophet sent her out of the dungeon, so she is now an aborigine in the nightmare world, and has been working as an intelligence worker in the Trial Office, with deep qualifications and serious work.She did not reveal her identity during the Twilight Land War, and was still in a latent state.

For three years and three years, the lady fortune-teller has worked diligently and conscientiously to become the head of the intelligence department of the court. The fraud king hasn't brought her back yet. Su and you have no heart! ! !
